How to increment a MATLAB for loop by an arbitrary value?

How to increment a MATLAB "for" loop by an arbitrary value?

I am creating a Matlab program that calculates corresponding temperatures for Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit, and Rankine scales. I want to write my code so that it can handle an arbitrary temperature increment (a user-inputted value).

Here is my current code (it currently increments by 1 degree Celsius--I want to change this):

Cstart = -50;
Cend = 100;
for Celsius = Cstart:Cend
Celius = Celsius
Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15
Fahrenheit = 1.8.*Celsius + 32
Rankine = (Celsius+273.15)*1.8
end
plot(Celsius,Kelvin,'r')
hold on
plot(Celsius,Fahrenheit,'b')
hold on
plot(Celsius,Rankine,'g')
legend('Kelvin','Fahrenheit','Rankine','FontSize',20)
xlabel('Temperature in Celsius','FontSize',20)
ylabel('Converted Temperature','FontSize',20)
title('Equivalent Temperatures','FontSize',20)
set(gca,'FontSize',20)

Thank you in advance!

The syntax for a for loop includes an optional increment expression, like this:

for i = 1.0: 0.1: 10.0
   ...
end

The increment expression is the one in the middle between the starting value and the ending value.
